Claudia graduated from Logan High School and quickly became a homemaker as she and Ben moved to Cleveland, Ohio and West Lafayette, Indiana while Ben continued his education. They settled in Greenwood, Indiana to continue raising their family.
During those years of family life, Claudia was an active member of Greenwood Presbyterian Church where she served as an elder and youth group leader. She was a devoted Boy Scout mom and committee member as her sons participated in Scouts for many years. Claudia volunteered for the Red Cross Chapter of Central Indiana and was a long time member of Phi Beta Psi philanthropic sorority. In later years, after she and Ben retired to the Chattanooga area, Claudia volunteered regularly at the Tennessee Aquarium and enjoyed social outings with the Red Hat Society.
A private celebration of life with family and friends will be held at a later date in Tennessee and Indiana. Memorial contributions can be made to the Shriners Hospitals for Children or St. Jude’s Childern’s Hospital in her honor.
